When it comes to what you can do with vegetables, the possibilities are endless. They can be boiled, steamed, sautéed, roasted, and even turned into fabulous sculptures.
Every year, the Lambeth Country Show hosts a hilarious, and frankly iconic, vegetable sculpture competition, where veg-loving artists create weird and wonderful scenes out of only the finest produce.
In 2025 the competition saw Donald Trump, Chappell Roan and Mark Rylance recreated in veggie form. But who squashed the competition? And whose leaves were a major flop? Here are our favourite veggie sculptures from this year’s country show.
WINNER: ’Not In My Broc-Yard’
It was the topic of the year: the battle for Brockwell Park. This artwork depicting a very angry broccolli alongside a grimacing ‘Mark Pak-Choi-Lance’ poked fun at the campaigners trying to stop festivals in the park, which help fund the free to attend Lambeth Country show. ’Not In My Broc-Yard’ was one of three entries on this topic, but this feisty broccoli winning took the title with 704 likes on Instagram.
Mark Rylunch and his NIMBY campeaners
This entry speaks for itself.
Chap-peel Roan
Pop superstar Chappell Roan got a veggie makeover complete with ginger (carrot) hair.
Cornclave (1 and 2)
The conclave appeared in two works, as an army of baby corn elected the new pope.
Trump goes pukelear
Trump, tarriffs, and a stream of veggie vomit. We love the chaos of this one.
Twin Leaks
RIP David Lynch, you would have loved being recreated as a squash at the Lambeth Country Show.
